Empowering Independent Thinkers

Help me give my students the needed resources to enhance their creative minds.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Brown's classroom raised $647

This project is fully funded

My Project

These materials will help all my students participate in Art and STEM projects, by designing their own projects that are related to their local communities in Social Studies, creating math word problems using whiteboards and markers, identifying people, places, & things for comprehension, sentence & story writing, and drawing a model during Life Science projects.

All resources will help promote independence for all my students during social and academic lessons.

These materials are excellent for my visual learners and autistic thinkers.

Thank you so much for helping my students be great!
